Amedisys Inc Stock Forecast
Amedisys Inc stock price down 0.379% on Friday
(Updated on May 03, 2024)
The Amedisys Inc stock price fell by -0.379% on the last day (Friday, 3rd May 2024) from $92.43 to $92.08. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.89% from a day low at $91.86 to a day high of $92.68. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 1.86% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 50 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 246 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $22.66 million.
The stock lies the upper part of a narrow and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break up at the top trend line at $92.39 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -2.87% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $87.38 and $89.73 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $91.89 and $92.03. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals.
